1909 E95 Philadelphia Caramel Eddie Plank SGC 3 VG
ICONIC PLANK T206 POSE!!! One of the most sought-after vintage baseball cards is Eddie Plank's E95 Philadelphia Caramel subject, which portrays the iconic Carl Horner portrait image also affixed to the legendary T206 Plank subject. Unfortunately, with the T206 Plank's excessive value outdistancing many collector's budgets, the E95 Plank may be the next best thing due to its relative affordability. Extremely condition-sensitive, less than 20 of the 160+ SGC encapsulated examples have managed to best this VG assessment. The sparkling T206 Plank portrait image originally struck by Carl Horner steals the show, with the robust green background effectively projecting this iconic pose. Corner wear and some stray faint wrinkles account for the grade, with no obtrusive flaws evident on either side. Indeed, this is a fine heirloom of the immortal Plank, with Gettysburg Eddie boasting 326 lifetime wins and eight 20-win seasons in his illustrious HOF career!
